Fintiri, who apparently came to give account of how he recovered the mandate, said his emergence as acting governor had restored the mandate.

“As a loyal and obedient party member, I came on a courtesy call to my party and the National Working Committee (NWC) as my first assignment after the battle to remove governor Nyako who had stolen the mandate of the PDP under which he was elected.

“I came here to return the mandate and I have handed it over to them. I promised that I will work together with the party, its leadership and the people of Adamawa to ensure that our party is restored to the people.”

Meanwhile, the national leadership of PDP said that the removal of Nyako and coming on board of the acting governor would help address the rot the state had experienced.

In his remarks, the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh noted that Fintiri would restore dignity to the party as well as address the rot caused the party by Nyako. He promised that the leadership would give him the needed support and encouragement.
